VIDEO: Roberto Mancini tells Carlos Tevez to forget Manchester United snub and score for City

Roberto Mancini has told Carlos Tevez to forget worrying about getting one over his former club Manchester United and focus solely on scoring goals for Manchester City.

Speaking ahead of Tuesday's Carling Cup semi-final first leg showdown at Eastlands, the Italian boss made it clear that he expects his side to reverse their 2-0 weekend defeat at Everton and gain the upper-hand over their local rivals in all-important tie.

He said: 'I hope that my squad plays well and I hope that Carlos scores for us - not because he was an ex-United player. We have to improve from the Everton defeat.'
